Not appropriate for children. My 1st comment when watching the movie was "hey" why do the male cows have udders - why weren't the 2 main characters bulls?? I didn't like the movie and don't think it's for kids.
Carly D. gave it a10:
This movie was so funny in everyway even the male cows with udders made the movie even more hilarious. I just love how the animals would mock every person in the movie.
DeAnna M. gave it a7:
Funny movie. Better than I thought it would be. Didn't find it offensive for anyone. Good family movie
Jordan G. gave it a7:
I expected it to be funny and witty. Though it did have it's moments this "child" movie was a little hard. It had drinking,gangs,breaking and entering, giving birth, kidnappings,beatings, joy-ridings. It was kinda funny and all in all it's OK
Marie R. gave it a1:
[***SPOILERS***] What were they thinking? Very bizarre themes for a “light” child’s animated movie - joy riding, raves, home invasion, gang violence, an unwed pregnant survivor of a Katrina-like flood?! And man-cows? Just weird. And not very funny, either.

This movie was terrible--I wish I hadn't seen it and I wish I hadn't taken my four nieces to go see it. Aside from the biological mistakes and crude drawings, I felt like I had to "debrief" the children I went with about the horrifying stereotypes and poor decision making in the film [***SPOILERS***] (the animals steal, drink, joy ride, break and enter, behave violently, and do other things that are not cool--all presented in the film as harmless fun). The presentation of all rural folks as either uneducated/stupid, crazy, or alcoholic was anything but charming. For most parts of the film that were intended to be jokes, the theater filled with kids was silent. And this is sad, but being a knitter, the presentation of knitting was so inaccurate that it was actually irritating to watch.
Karen P. gave it a9:
This was a perfect movie to take our granddaughter to see. It was funny and entertaining. Cute storyline. It was refreshing to sit and be entertained without having to worry if something offensive was going to pop up!
